Sync or Swim

Though synchronized swimming may strike some as a marginalized, even obscure sport, for others it clocks in as a way of life - particularly for the committed young ladies who aggressively train to make a spot on the U.S. Olympics Synchronized Swim Team.

Cheryl Furjanic's documentary Sync or Swim provides a firsthand depiction of nine of these women as they undergo day-by-day training, attempting to perfect an excruciatingly difficult routine where split-second timing is everything.

Over the course of the journey, the women must also band together to show emotional support to a member of the team who is rebounding from a sudden and utterly devastating personal crisis.
